Writer: Corrin
Name: Halia
Age: 22
Birthday: m5 d2
Rank: Junior Weyrling
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr
Physical Description of Persona:
A tall, leggy blond with honey gold hair and strikingly angular features. There’s something almost feline about the cant of her green eyes, the curve of her lips. All together it’s an appealing picture and she knows it. It’s gotten her some juvenile attention, but nothing lasting-- and it’s draconic attention that she wants.
Emotional Description of Persona:
Halia wears a mask.
In her work, in the drudgery of the lower caverns, she has learned to be unobtrusive, obedient and mild. She’s gotten very good at pretending to enjoy service and catering to the needs and wishes of others, that’s been her way to get good postings and get ahead. That Halia is a fiction.
The real Halia despises her duties, mocks her superiors, and lives to feed her own pleasures. It’s nothing nefarious, she’s just trapped in a dead end job she has no passion for. A brash and friendly extrovert, she is happiest when she’s spending time with old friends or making new ones. There was a brief shining moment in her mid-teens where people said she was a gold candidate, for no better reason than she was outgoing and pretty, but she’s since been left standing for Turns and is now quite cynical about the whole thing.
History of Persona:
Halia is nobody important, the daughter and grandaughter of nobody in particular. She is, in fact, a drudge from a line of drudges that have worked in quiet obscurity at Dragonsfall Weyr since its inception. She wouldn’t mind so much, it is what it is, and riders were rare enough during the recent Interval-- but that lack of rider blood may be what’s leaving her on the sands all these Turns. She’s been Standing for nearly half her life now, with no lifemate to show for it. At this point, hundreds of green dragonets, and two gold, have passed her by. She’s resigned herself to a life of drudgery.
She still dreams of flying-- of having the freedom and purse of a dragonrider. She doesn’t think she has the connections needed to rise far in the lower caverns. A dragon would be her ticket to a new class and life, but she only has a hatching left…

Dragon's Name: Arimith
Dragon's Age: 1
Dragon's Colour: Green
Next Mating Flight: m10 d26 of turn 12
Description of Dragon:
Arimith is a striking basil-green dragon with a hide that gleams like polished jade in the sunlight. Her wings are slightly shorter than average, and more rounded in shape, a trait that grants her exceptional agility in the air. Though not the largest of her color, she carries herself with a fussy sort of dignity that demands attention. Her slender limbs and narrow snout give her an elegant, almost refined appearance--though this serene image is often undermined by her habit of fluttering her wings in agitation.
In personality, Arimith is a whirlwind of emotion and care. She is deeply empathetic and often overwhelmed by the strength of her own feelings, whether they be concern, joy, or even indignation. A natural worrier, she frets endlessly over her rider and those she holds dear, always striving to keep everyone safe and comfortable. While this can manifest as overprotectiveness, it’s always underpinned by genuine affection. She has a tendency to ramble when upset, her thoughts spilling out in a cascade of worry and gentle reprimands.
